Looking for the proverb "Parents work hard, our life is so comfortable that children become beggar"

Question

I heard the following proverb that was said from Japanese (if not Chinese).

If our parents are working too hard, our life becomes very convenient up to a point that causes their grandchildren become beggars.

Is there such a proverb in Japanese? If yes, what is that?

It's not a well-known one, but we have.

But more famous sayings with similar moral are:
